SO MUCH SPAM!!! I haven’t been on this in forever & I’m kicking myself over it (no, not because there is a BILLION spam posts, though that would attribute to my self-infliction). SO much has gone on in little miss Sagie Sue’s life (Kacey, I find myself calling her that on the DAILY now. HAHA)— & FYI, her middle name is Emi— That I’m hoping I can remember everything and the feelings that were attached to these events! I’ve turned into the WORST “record keeper” since graduating high school… was…read more

So, last week our little family was privileged enough to go to Playa Del Carmen on a “business trip” provided by the BEST boss (& neighbor) in the world! You know, for business… like the beach volleyball kind. YEAH YEAH!! This was my very first time to Mexico… in fact, I think it was Taylor’s first time too. & It definitely was Sage’s first time (but who knows! For all I know, she could have been flying around Mexico before she was born into my tum-ach!). (This is the best…read more

Taylor, Sage & I went to the Midway Ice Castles last weekend. AMAZING! This is something I’ve been wanting to do since forever! Just thought I’d post some pictures of our icy night. Started off Sad… everything is horrible! & then it wasn’t so bad! Did I mention that Sage is getting TEETH!? I mean, if you didn’t already figure it out from her little “spaced out, half smile” picture above. Yeah, FOR REALS. She’s FINALLY getting some “tee-fees”! They started coming in… oh I wanna say right before…read more

We’ve successfully made it through the second Christmas as a married couple! I know for all of you old timers, you probably don’t understand the significance of this or have forgotten (or flat out don’t care), but it truly is a great accomplishment. Somehow Taylor isn’t murdered, Sage is still alive, and I’m not in a mental institution or prison. That’s somethin’ to hallelujah about! I’ve decided Christmas is too stressful for me and I’m thinking about cutting the whole ‘presents’ deal out of our list of “family traditions” with…read more

Sage turned ONE on Oct. 24th (a Thursday)! We cannot believe how big she is getting. It’s hard for me to believe I have a ONE YEAR OLD! ME! I went from never wanting kids, EVER— to having the most beautiful one year old whom I love unconditionally. HAHA! I can’t believe I never wanted kids. Well… sometimes I still think that way. not about NOT having kids, but things that come with having kids (if that even makes sense)… like throw up & the endless attitude. I can do…read more

Sorry for the gap! I don’t really have an excuse. Just doing the whole mommy/house wife/work thing… oh & video games. I cannot believe Sage is already almost a year old! She will be a year in 17 more days. I can’t even believe it. Where has the time gone!? Our whole house is busy getting ready for her 1st birthday party! … Who am I kidding, Taylor hasn’t helped and Sage certainly can’t. I’m more excited about this party than the appreciation I’ll get for all of the time…read more

Feeling like I should write again! Sage is almost 9 months old now! I can’t believe how fast time flies. Sage has been doing wonderfully. Since Sagie is growing up to be a big girl, Taylor and I have decided to start looking into Physical & Occupational Therapy for our little girl. Some background info: A lot of children with Hydranencephaly have increased muscle tone in their bodies. 41% of children they did a study on had increased muscle tone, 47% of the children were mixed, and only 6% of…read more

I have not written in about a century! Blogging is just too time consuming (in my mind). Everyone’s like “you need to get on that horse!” & I’m like “um, no. I hate horses…” A part of me does kind of want to trot off into the blogging sunset; I mean, it sounds nice & I enjoy reading other stories from those who do— but every time I try, it’s like one foot is clear up on the horses back and the other is dragging violently behind me as the…read more

I am so backed up. Taylor & I got married December 22, 2012 & on that same day, Sage was able to be sealed to us! How grateful we are to be able to be a forever family! I just LOVE my life! I can’t stop looking at my baby girl sleeping next to me and thinking how lucky I am to have her. She is my life. She’s so beautiful & precious to me! Sometimes I want to just scoop her up out of her bed and cuddle with…read more
